A 27-year-old airman stationed at Kadena Air Base is denying charges by Okinawa Police that he drove a motorcycle while drunk.

Wilfred Aseira says he was not driving a motorcycle at the Miyagi district of Chatan Town about 4:30 a.m. Saturday. When apprehended, Aseira was tested for alcohol and found to have six times the legal limit on his breath.

Police responded to the scene after getting a report from a nearby resident who heard the crash. Aseria was on the scene and was tested. Okinawa Police say Aseira drove the motorcycle, and crashed into a stopped, unmanned car from behind.
